SINGAPORE - An annual fundraising dinner, initially scheduled for Saturday but subsequently cancelled in light of the social distancing measures enacted to combat the Covid-19 outbreak, has gone virtual.
Money raised was donated to the Straits Times Pocket Money Fund on Saturday in a cheque presentation at the Hwa Chong Alumni Association Club House at 681 Bukit Timah Road. "We wanted to have an event that allows our alumni to rally their ex-classmates and friends to come together for Founders' Day, especially when we cannot gather physically for dinner. We decided that raising funds for a meaningful cause like the Straits Times Pocket Money Fund would do just that," Mr Chia said.
"This is a meaningful present from Hwa Chongians to our alma-mater, on her 101st Founders' Day, while giving back to the community," Mr Chia said.
